Thoughts on how much this R has been lowered? Maybe those who went to the SFITRCA Memorial Park meet will step in. This was a sweet R. Just wondering how much from stock it has been lowered, or appears to be?

Damn thats a nicr R... to the owner !!!

my drop looks similar to that, i think i am at 1.5 in front and 1.25 in the rear, but i may be wrong, ever since i got the teins i mess around w/ hight and stiffness like every other minute

 

Hey Jon:
not sure if this is your pic, but it's probably best to get permission from the owner of the car if it's okay to post since the license plate is plainly visible.

yshi - whose just trying to protect the CW owner

 

The perfect drop but what Yoshi said.

 

Thanks Yosh..

wasn't thinking

 

jon's edit

 

spoon springs will give you that drop. looks exactly like mine...

 

Got pics to post?

 

the owners a good friend of mine and yes he thanks you for blocking his plate #.

I forget what height the car was back then since he's running a new suspention now. Back then I think it was a Skunk suspention, currently I believe its a Zeal setup. I dunno...

Here's some current pictures from a track day we had a week ago which shows his current height:

Now I see why the JDM front end is described as the G2 front end to me when I was first introduced to it.

 

here's one after a long day of rally racing and showing up at the Sports Car Meet

 

Haha, looks great. I guess a 1.5 drop it is. Are you just running the springs with the stock shocks?

Jon

 

yeah dont listen to spoon when they said .75 inch drop. It's actually more like 1.25-1.5 inches.

Yeah I'm using the Spoon springs with the stock shocks. It's designed to work with teh stock shocks.

 

I have confirmed that Spoons are designed to work with the stock shocks, as you just told me.. but I am interested in the H&R's, as they are supposed to also be good, and are slightly cheaper. Are the H&R's just as easy on the stock shocks?

Jon

 

I don't know about the H&R's but my Spoon springs have been on for over 4k miles. Still a very stiff ride and not bouncy just like the day i installed them.

 

Dont listen to him...he is lying...have you seen him drive...he bounces up and down the street like hes on cut springs like a ricer

Im just messing with alex, his car has the perfect drop and ride

 

You got the ricer part down but the spoon springs give the car the perfect drop.

 

haha you guys suck

 

i was wondering, i dont do much track racing. what would be the best springs for stock shocks? and how long can you run springs with stock shocks?

 

you still haven't dropped your car?

Make up your mind and give the rest of us a ******* break.

 

I would say either the Spoon or the KG/MM springs. They both offer the about the same drop hieght, and about the same rates. The KG/MM are a little cheaper though. I had them for a few weeks, and sold them for the Tein's but i would have to say, best set of springs i have ever had.

 

JDM styles r so big over in cali......

 

but I am interested in the H&R's, as they are supposed to also be good, and are slightly cheaper. Are the H&R's just as easy on the stock shocks?
